Daum Nancy Art Nouveau Opalescent Grisaille Landscape Vase, France, c.1900s
An exquisite Daum Nancy Art Nouveau landscape vase, crafted in cased opalescent and clear glass, finely etched and decorated in grisaille. The compact, sculptural form features a distinctive four‑point indented rim and a softly rounded body that showcases Daum’s mastery of atmospheric landscape painting.
The vase presents a serene coastal village scene with windmills, sailboats, bare trees, and shoreline paths, rendered in subtle grey‑blue tones over a roughly etched background that enhances depth and misty luminosity. The interplay between milky opalescence and clear glass creates a gentle internal glow, characteristic of Daum’s finest production.
Signed Daum Nancy with the Cross of Lorraine, retaining traces of original gilding.
A rare and beautifully preserved example of Daum’s landscape...
